Although Derek Jeter’s girlfriend Hannah Davis was not awarded the coveted prize of cover girl for the 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, the blonde bombshell was featured in the upper right-hand corner of the cover with the tagline "We've Got Hannah Davis: The Dreamy Rookie." The Victoria’s Secret fashion model reportedly made a huge first impression on Sports Illustrated editors during their latest swimsuit photo shoot, so she has been tipped to be the next cover star. Hannah is being hoped to be another version of Kate Upton, who landed on the cover of the swimsuit issue the year after she debuted in the magazine and was crowned “Rookie of the Year.” The bombshell blonde was scouted at the age of 14 by a family friend. She has covered Mexican Elle and FHM, and has been photographed for Victoria’s Secret, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, American Eagle, and Levi's. Miss Davis was also a Caribbean tennis champion while growing up in the Virgin Islands. The 22-years-old model used to be a volleyball player and played on the Virgin Islands National Volleyball Team. Hannah Davis has apparently been dating New York Yankees slugger Derek Jeter, who is 16 years her senior, for several months.

Derek Jeter’s girlfriend Hannah Davis made such a "rare, huge" first impression on Sports Illustrated producers during their latest swimsuit photo shoot.

In addition to modeling for Victoria's Secret, Hannah Davis has also been a model in campaigns for American Eagle Outfitters, Avon, Bobbi Brown, Pink, Levi's, Ralph Lauren, and Tommy Hilfiger. Derek Jeter's new girlfriend is best known for being the face of Ralph Rocks perfume.

The 22-year-old beauty, who was born in the Virgin Islands, is a regular Ralph Lauren model and has appeared in Elle Mexico and ads for Victoria’s Secret and Jean Paul Gaultier.

The 5-foot, 10-inch tall, green-eyed model and New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter were spotted clubbing together over the summer and more recently at the Gramercy Park Hotel in December.

Kate Upton has been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine’s annual swimsuit issue 2012 in a two-toned, red string bikini with a bottom piece. The announcement that the 5-foot-10 blonde bombshell will be on the cover is officially made on Monday night's episode of "The Late Show with David Letterman". Kate Upton, who is a native of Melbourne, Florida and the niece of Republican Congressman Fred Upton, joins the shortlist of models including Heidi Klum, Elle MacPherson, Tyra Banks and Brooklyn Decker to appear in the coveted role as the swimsuit issue's cover girl. On 13 February 2012, the blonde beauty was spotted making her way to Times Square as the billboard featuring the front page shot made its grand debut in New York City.

During an interview with SB nation, when being asked about if modeling for Sports Illustrated is a hazardous occupation for her, Irina Shayk replied that "Well, not dangers. For SI we did a shoot in the Philippines in Kalibo. It took me 35 hours of travel to get there because I missed one flight, then another, and then missed every connection after that. When we got there you had to climb a mountain to get a beautiful shot, or you had to jump into really cold water to get a shot. It was fun, but Maui was more fun as a shoot."
